Nope. It's people MAKING SURE that other people witness their affection for each other. Not the same thing.

+1 only exception is for teens who can neither control the hormones nor realize that excessive PDAs are assign of insecurity.

So when I kiss my husband or we hold hands or he gives me a hug from behind we are doing that for other people not for each other?

Huh. The more you know.

NP. If it's occasional, it's fine. If it's all the time, it's just marking territory and an obvious bid for attention.

Don't see the problem here... Husband is watching football/baseball combo in the living room. I'm not interested.

It's an anonymous website where people we don't know ask for our opinions.... It's LITERALLY, the only my place I can openly express my opinions without personally offending some stupid person to their face. You coming onto this board and accusing me of being critical is like accepting an invitation to a hunting trip and then complaining that animals are getting shot.

Not really annoying, more like I get jealous when I see a man be physically affectionate with his wife. Not making out but a hug, quick rub on the back, holding hands, etc. My husband is a great guy and loves me but he's not even a tiny bit physically affectionate and it makes me sad.

I think this is the issue for most of the people complaining about PDA here. They're jealous that either their partner doesn't want to touch them, or they don't have feelings of affection for their partner. It's okay, I've been there. I was married to someone I really wasn't attracted to for several years and I felt similarly. Now I'm with someone I'm absolutely crazy about (and the feeling is mutual) and I've got no issues with other people's PDA. I'm happy for them because I share their feelings of love and affection.

Welcome! You must be new.

Blaming each other or an "I told you so" in front of others.

Same here, sister.

I'm totally jealous of PDA. On our first date, now-DH kissed me for over an hour outside. I totally melted and fell for him that night. Now if we see a couple kissing outside he scoffs and says "WE would NEVER do that!" I die a little inside each time.

+1! I find that so odd and exhibitionistic. It's like they have to show everyone how in love they are or it's not real. Sometiimes I think it's overcompensation. My former SIL was into doing this before she and my BIL separated. Then again, sometimes it's just about wanting to brag/show off.
